I am not sure, but I think this lady and her elephant worked with Capell Bros Circus in the late 1940’s or early 1950’s. The photo comes from C.B.C. collection.

It is hard to say where this performance took place. I am certain that it was on the back end of a carnival midway and could have been Capell Bros Circus & Carnival combined.

I remember posting a different shot of this act some time ago. I wish I could think of his name. The photo was taken in 1950 or 1951. Bill Woodcock with his elephants was on the Siebrand Circus, as well.
